Awana

Helping kids apply truth & face anything

Awana is a great place for your children to get connected with Jesus and other kids. Each meeting includes verse memorization, game time, and large group lessons. This program is open to children in Kindergarten through 6th grade. Awana establishes welcoming, supportive environments where kids, from every background and cultural setting, learn how a personal relationship with Christ affects their everyday lives.

Awana FAQs

What changes are you implementing this year?

Reduced Classroom Capacity
Each classroom will have a limited capacity, similar to how our Kids’ Classes are currently operating. Our classes will not exceed the max capacity.
No Cubbies Class or Nursery Care
Because it is harder to social distance and keep a high standard of cleanliness with young kids, we have made the tough decision to not offer Cubbies or nursery care during Awana.
Possible Bi-Weekly Schedule
If we exceed our maximum classroom capacity, we will move to a bi-weekly rotating schedule in order for kids to safely social distance better. If this is the case, children will be divided by the location of Walnut Creek they attend, which allows for families to be together and foster relationships among kids.
No Gym Time
Gym time creates a multitude of challenges in keeping with COVID-19 guidelines. Instead of gym time, we will work hard to incorporate other weekly games. We want kids to love coming to Awana, and we know gym time is a big part of the fun for many kids.
Delayed Start
Starting September 23 allows us to see the results of schools meeting in person and learn best practices from them before beginning our Awana year.

There will be no at-the-door registrations this year. If there are spaces in classrooms open after online registration, we may allow for additional children, but this is not guaranteed.

Unless mandated, we will not require masks for children or volunteers, but anyone is welcome to wear one.

``Awana is a great way for the church to partner with parents to raise up our children upon the firm foundation of God's Word. Through Bible teachings, verse memorization, and game time, children will have the opportunity to grow in their understanding of our majestic God in a fun learning environment.``
